    Are you sure you need a VPS? A lot of people who "think" they do, don't actually need one. They actually just need a better shared host that doesn't overload their servers.

    Main Features of OpenVZ Virtualization:
    • Full root access.
    • OS-level virtualization.
    • 'Burst' RAM and other extra resources available when nodes are underused.
    • Upgrades can be applied on-the-fly, without reboots.
    • More resources available due to lightweight virtualization.
    • Simple network and disk setup.
    • Access to most iptables modules.

    Main Features of Xen Virtualization:
    • Full root access.
    • Supports Linux and Windows.
    • Better Java performance.
    • Resources (RAM, etc) are fully dedicated and private.
    • Para-virtualized Linux kernel (i.e., full isolation).
    • Direct access to loadable kernel modules.
    • Swap space.
    • Highly configurable.

    I'd recommend starting off with shared hosting with a quality hosting provider (not one that claims to give you unlimited space/bandwidth as there's no such thing) and assess your requirements from there.
